Travel Monoxide detectors

stashmycash

I seem to remember reading on the forum that you can buy carbon monxide dectrectors for traveling. I think it was some kind of strip. However I have done a search and can't find anything.
Does anyone know where these can be bought?

Sleepsafe CO cards arent really for travel, but they will do the job. They are about beermat size.

I purchased a battery powered CO detector from Screwfix (made by Dicon and cost around £20) and although it is primarily for use at home, I chuck it into my rucksack when I go traveling.

It weighs hardly anything and is no bigger than half a cats head.

The advantage of these is that if theres any CO, then it will make a serious noise and wake you up. The ones that change colour, whilst certainly better than nothing, will not wake you up - for example, if the water heater in your accommodation develops a fault overnight. And you can use them all the year round at home.
